Product details
Overview
AD574AJP-REEL from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip reference, clock, and three-state data output buffers. It delivers ±1/2 LSB linearity error over 0°C to +70°C, supports unipolar (0 V to +10 V or 0 V to +20 V) and bipolar (±5 V or ±10 V) input ranges, and achieves 35 µs max 12-bit conversion time - used in precision industrial data acquisition, test equipment, and process control systems where high DC accuracy and self-contained architecture are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD574AJP-REEL datasheet, AD574AJP-REEL pinout, AD574AJP-REEL application, or AD574AJP-REEL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for system-level design and sourcing decisions.
Technical Context
The AD574AJP-REEL integrates a temperature-compensated buried Zener reference (10.00 V ±0.2%), internal 12-bit current-output DAC, comparator, successive-approximation register (SAR), and digital control logic - eliminating need for external timing or reference components. Its dual-mode operation (12-bit or 8-bit conversion) is controlled via AO and 12/8 pins, with STS flag signaling conversion status.
Digital interface uses CE/CS/R/C control protocol compatible with microprocessor buses; data output is left-justified and configurable as 12-bit parallel or two 8-bit nibbles. Input impedance is 5 kΩ (10 V span) or 10 kΩ (20 V span), requiring low-impedance driving sources or sample-and-hold amplifiers like the AD585 for dynamic signals above 1.5 Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 4096 discrete digital codes across full-scale range. |
| Linearity Error (TMIN–TMAX) | ±1/2 LSB - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes over full 0°C to +70°C range. |
| Conversion Time | 35 µs max (12-bit) - enables sampling rates up to ~28.5 kSPS in burst mode with external timing control. |
| Reference Voltage | 10.00 V ±0.2% - internally generated, stable over temperature, supplies 1.5 mA to external loads. |
| Analog Input Ranges | Unipolar: 0 V to +10 V or 0 V to +20 V; Bipolar: ±5 V or ±10 V - selectable via pin strapping without external resistors. |
| Power Supply Range | VLOGIC = +4.5 V to +5.5 V; VCC = +11.4 V to +16.5 V; VEE = –11.4 V to –16.5 V - supports ±12 V or ±15 V operation. |
| Full-Scale Calibration Error | 0.125% of FS max - trimmable to <±2 LSB typical using external 50 Ω resistor between REF OUT and REF IN. |
Pinout & Package
AD574AJP-REEL is supplied in a 28-lead plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC, package code P-28A), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles. The package features gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-047A outline, and thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | Digital Common (DC) | Ground reference for logic supply and digital interface; must be tied to system digital ground. |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 | DB11–DB0 (Data Outputs) | Three-state parallel outputs delivering 12-bit conversion result; DB11 = MSB, DB0 = LSB. |
| 14 | STS (Status) | Active-high signal indicating conversion in progress; goes low when result is ready and stable. |
| 16 | CE (Chip Enable) | Primary enable for read/convert operations; falling edge initiates action when CS and R/C are valid. |
| 17 | CS (Chip Select) | Secondary enable; must be low during CE assertion for valid command execution. |
| 18 | R/C (Read/Convert) | Low = start conversion; High = enable data output buffers; controls function mode with CE/CS. |
| 19 | A0 (Byte Address) | Selects 12-bit vs. 8-bit conversion; also selects MSB nibble (A0=0) or LSB nibble (A0=1) during read. |
| 20 | 12/8 | Configures data format: tied to VLOGIC = 12-bit word; tied to DC = two 8-bit bytes. |
| 21 | REF OUT | 10 V reference output; supplies internal DAC and external circuitry; load must remain constant during conversion. |
| 22 | REF IN | Reference input node; connected to REF OUT via 50 Ω resistor for full-scale calibration trim. |
| 23 | BIP OFF | Bipolar offset adjustment point; grounded for unipolar mode, tied to REF OUT for bipolar mode. |
| 24 | 10VIN | 10 V span analog input; used with 5 kΩ internal resistor for 0 V to +10 V or ±5 V operation. |
| 25 | 20VIN | 20 V span analog input; used with 10 kΩ internal resistor for 0 V to +20 V or ±10 V operation. |
| 26 | ANA COM (AC) | Analog common - reference for analog inputs, internal reference, and bipolar offset; must be isolated from digital noise. |
| 27 | VCC | Positive analog supply (+12 V or +15 V); powers internal DAC, comparator, and reference. |
| 28 | VEE | Negative analog supply (–12 V or –15 V); required for bipolar operation and internal circuit biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 10 V reference | Eliminates need for external precision reference; ±0.2% initial accuracy and <50 ppm/°C drift over temperature. |
| Self-contained SAR architecture | Requires no external clock, DAC, or comparator - reduces BOM count and layout complexity in embedded systems. |
| Configurable 12-/8-bit operation | Reduces conversion time to 24 µs (8-bit) for lower-resolution applications while maintaining pin compatibility. |
| Three-state parallel data bus | Enables direct connection to 8-bit or 16-bit microprocessor data buses without external latches or transceivers. |
| Adjustable unipolar/bipolar offset & gain | Allows field calibration to meet system-level accuracy targets using two external trimmers (R1, R2). |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD574AJP-REEL?
The AD574AJP-REEL is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature specification applies to the J-grade device in PLCC packaging, and all electrical parameters - including ±1/2 LSB linearity error and 10.00 V reference stability - are guaranteed across this full range. The AD574AJP-REEL does not support extended or military temperature grades.
Does the AD574AJP-REEL require external components to operate?
No, the AD574AJP-REEL is a complete 12-bit ADC requiring no external clock, DAC, comparator, or reference. Only power supplies (+5 V, +12/+15 V, –12/–15 V), analog input connections, and control signals (CE, CS, R/C, A0, 12/8) are needed. External 50 Ω resistor is optional for full-scale calibration trim, and trimmer potentiometers are optional for offset/gain adjustment - but not required for basic operation.
How is the AD574AJP-REEL configured for bipolar versus unipolar input ranges?
The AD574AJP-REEL selects input range via hardware connections: for unipolar mode, BIP OFF (Pin 23) is grounded and 10VIN (Pin 24) or 20VIN (Pin 25) is used; for bipolar mode, BIP OFF is tied to REF OUT (Pin 21), enabling ±5 V or ±10 V spans. No software or register writes are involved - configuration is purely pin-strapped and fixed at power-up.
Can the AD574AJP-REEL interface directly to an 8-bit microprocessor bus?
Yes, the AD574AJP-REEL supports 8-bit bus interfacing via its 12/8 and A0 pins. When 12/8 is tied to Digital Common, data appears as two consecutive 8-bit words; A0 selects whether DB11–DB4 (MSB byte) or DB3–DB0 plus four trailing zeros (LSB byte) are enabled. This eliminates need for external latches or data-width converters in 8-bit systems.
What is the maximum recommended analog input frequency for accurate 12-bit conversion with the AD574AJP-REEL?
Without a sample-and-hold amplifier, the AD574AJP-REEL maintains 12-bit accuracy only for input signals changing less than ±1/2 LSB (2.44 mV for 10 V span) during its 35 µs conversion time - limiting usable bandwidth to ~1.5 Hz. For higher frequencies, Analog Devices recommends pairing the AD574AJP-REEL with the AD585 SHA to achieve accurate digitization up to 26 kHz.
